What happened
Mikayil Jabbarov stated that Azerbaijan aims to become a regional hub for processing strategic minerals. He noted that global demand for certain metals, including aluminum, copper, zinc, and gold, is projected to increase significantly over the next decade. Jabbarov also identified the modernization of legal frameworks and securing long-term financing as key challenges for the mining and metallurgical industry.
Why it matters
The government is positioning Azerbaijan to leverage its location along the Central Asia–Europe corridor and its raw material potential. This strategy aims to expand regional processing capacities and increase the demand for local logistics and freight services, while addressing the need for greater private sector investment in mining projects.
Mikayil Jabbarov recently met with Swiss officials to discuss expanding bilateral trade and investment ties between Azerbaijan and Switzerland.
